I always think of them as "Der Heutigen Stasi". But one has to almost admire the way "file sharing" has been turned into "piracy" and "copying" into "theft" by the media. If the East Germans had had spin control like that, Honecker would still be president.
So after the Big Bang we get Roseanne again? I'm not entirely comfortable with this hypothesis. As one AC once printed "There is as yet insufficient data for a meaningful answer".I think I'll just grab that straw thank you very much.
Anonymous@DHS: "The terminology contained within the reported memo is indeed troubling. It labels any person who “interferes” with TSA airport security screening procedure protocol and operations by actively objecting to the established screening process, “including but not limited to the anticipated national opt-out day” as a “domestic extremist.” The label is then broadened to include “any person, group or alternative media source” that actively objects to, causes others to object to, supports and/or elicits support for anyone who engages in such travel disruptions at U.S. airports in response to the enhanced security procedures."

Really? It took you ten years to realize this? Hint: being sold by your neighbor to the CIA, blindfolding, extraditing, torture, more flying, Guantanamo Bay, ten years of lock-down will turn ANYBODY and his brother into a so-called "terrorist".
Full body scanners, on the other hand, don't do shit, terrorism-wise.
It's not either/or in this case. Everywhere where there is life, there is death. The one state follows the other. Ergo if life is everywhere, death is everywhere, not nowhere.

IMHO involved parties in a conflict should be named after their goals, not (one of) their of tactics. Your definition applies to almost every participant in armed conflict in history, and certainly to the armed forces of all the major powers. As a mental exercise, imagine asking everybody in the world (anonymously/confidentially) if they considered themselves to be "terrorists". I don't think anybody would consider themselves so. External labeling and over-simplification will lead us no nearer to real solutions.
"We haven't had a genuine terror attack in a long time". A genuine terror attack is one that fills you with terror. It has very little to do with the convictions of the perpetrator. There's no such thing as a "terrorist". Not a single one on the planet. Terrorism is a stratagem, not a political philosophy. It's like calling the WW II Germans "Blitzkriegers", or the Americans "Amphibians".
"respecting laws that were put in place to keep us safe"? But what if I think these laws address the wrong issue's, and only serve to create an illusion of safety against an ill-defined opponent?
But the pain was "illusionary", the test was about overcoming your fear and resisting the urge to remove your hand. Or that's how I remember it anyhow.
From the article: The report said there was “no evidence” to suggest BP had put cost before safety.
And then: Commission co-chair William Riley noted “what appeared to be a rush to completion” at the drilling site. He added that “one must ask where the drive came from that made people determine they couldn’t wait for sound cement, or the right centralisers”. Is this guy stupid? That's the norm!.

Fuck anybody ever for suggesting that people should be getting money for doing something.
There are enough doers, fuck in the ass anybody who wants to produce and pollute incessantly, filling the world with crap and ways of making people buy more crap, for their own personal profit. I'd shoot anybody in the head for this proposal alone.
"A former University of Akron student was sentenced Friday to 30 months in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and an almost certainly non-lethal tazing : ). Risking no proper job, no mortgage ever. That'll teach him not to fuck with several prominent conservative figures".
Although I think I understand the gist of your post, florid as it might be, and agree freedom of speech must cut both ways, I don't think the thirty months is all the trouble he's in.

As for a fear-free future: stop being afraid.
Shuriken!
What, not thought-provoking enough?
U R right of course,
"Space is but three of the dimensions et al".
My point was more along the lines of "We'll likely find ancient remains or organisms such as described in the article, not life as we know it".
It's not either/or in this case.
Everywhere where there is life, there is death.
The one state follows the other.
Ergo if life is everywhere, death is everywhere,
not nowhere.
Yeah, amazing ; ).
But, perhaps more importantly, is there life elsewhere NOW?
Space is but one dimension in the space-time continuum.

Please put your hand in this little box...
I don't think the source of the problem is any one individual, but the system in which these individuals operate.
"Surely it's obvious to even the most dim-witted American politician that drilling in 5,000 feet of water is going to entail some risks"?
If the experts say "risky but doable",
and it concerns a potentially very profitable project, it usually seems to get approved.
From the article:
The report said there was “no evidence” to suggest BP had put cost before safety.

Commission co-chair William Riley noted “what appeared to be a rush to completion” at the drilling site. He added that “one must ask where the drive came from that made people determine they couldn’t wait for sound cement, or the right centralisers”.
